Yes, it should. Cron normally emails any output (including messages to stderr) to the owner of the cron job. In this case you have "2>>&1" at the end of your command which should be "2>&1". On my machine executing a command with "2>>&1" results in: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `&' which might explain why your job isn't running. If I setup a test job that looks similar to yours, the above error output is emailed to me. Jay Blanchard wrote: > You have to specify each minute... "* * * * *" is sufficient for that. I've got a couple of jobs on a box here that run every minute and that's the way they are entered in my crontab...
